Before the mentor can respond with his own spell, the hasted illusionist whips out a coin on a chain and dangles it in the air, in front of Gustav's face. Lucius' voice takes on an otherworldly quality, "I'm about to breath acid on you, I suggest you turn around and run 40 feet."

He crosses his fingers for the result....

[Gustav, your turn...]
 


Gustav circles his hands in the air, crafting a minor globe of invulnerability that hangs in the air around the two wizards.

Lucius first tries to reach for a scroll, but realizes that using a scroll would disqualify him, and instead repeats the same dispel magic gesture that his mentor had used, but flubs the plucking gester, to the amusement of the crowd.

Gustav snorts and flings out his hand, palm first, in the inmistakeable gesture of a quickened magic missile, yet nothing happens. He looks at his hand, then realizes that the spell doesn't work within the globe and that his opponent is inside it.

The crowd titters at the mistake.

Round 2

[Lucius, your turn, and you're not hasted at the moment...]

"Nice try, Master. Is Magic Missle the best you can do?"

I'm sweating now, though...

Wisp! Where are you?

I back step out of the sphere's influence ... and cast a spell.
 

Lucius Foxhound steps outside of the minor globe of invulnerability and once again feels hasted. He sighs in relief, and reaches down into the dirt, grabbing a handful, then bringing it up to his mouth as he shouts words into it, scattering it from his hand with his breath.

To everyone, including Gustav, the dirt simply takes the shape of a small dust cloud. Gustav laughs at the illusion, but takes no action.

Tall magic-one, I am at the top of the slope, about 150 feet from you, just as you asked me to be.

[Lucius, your extra partial action from the haste...]
 


As you wish, tall magic-one.

Lucius crosses the air in front of him with an X, then moves his hand in a circle around that X, creating a shield.

[Gustav, your turn...]
 


The silent and increasingly angry mentor says nothing, deciding to let his actions speak for him. He waves his hand in a circle, plucking air with his two fingers.

But the former apprentice catches on to his mentor's actions, and repeats the same gestures, except this time he matches them with a slight variation at the end. But just as he expect his dispel magic to counter the one of Gustav's, it hits the minor globe of invulnerability and dissapates while at the same time Lucius can feel the loss of Haste, Kauper's Skittish Nerves, and Protection from Evil that he had cast in the preparation round, as well as the Shield that he had just cast.

[Gustav, any further actions?]
